Night Nurse

[Verse 1]
Legs hurt, save your praying for the church
Read the paper on the way to work
Some days better, some days worse
Go home, get high, close the shades first
I might've drank a bit, in fact I stank of it
I guess that's all the thanks I get
Don't worry 'bout it, world renowned and in no hurry 'bout it
Watched it go from 40 ounces
To dancing 'round in corny outfits
East to west and journey southward
Try to stop hating, I'm a grumpy dude
Was hungry for food, now I want some money too
Go ahead, exploit me
Promise me the world and disappoint me
Fill me with morphine 'till I might burst
Make the red light buzz, call the night nurse

[Hook]
We'll have time for lying down [?]
When they put us underground

[Verse 2]
You know me, I keep the ride going
Glide with the stride of a showman
Pour my drink 'till the side's overflowing
Keep your mouth closed, keep your eyes open
I know it seems vast and hopeless
When confronted by the bullshit mass hypnosis
All the philosophers and classic poets
Told one big joke, and you're the last to know it
For too long, it's all been dumbed down
Giving you the run around, but that's done now
History ain't pretty
So we rewrote that shit with big lips and fake titties
Hard to care about what I can't take with me
Used to run towards death, you don't wanna race with me
Fill me with morphine 'till I might burst
Make the red light buzz, call the night nurse

[Hook]
We'll have time for lying down [?]
When they put us underground
